Default LS400 calipers missing bolts help!

I bought these calipers from aliga a while ago and just got them in the mail. On the back of the caliper seems to be missing two bolts on one and one the other. Where can i find these bolts? Could i just slap them on and no worries?

The LS4 bolts are shorter in length than your SC bolts. You can either dremmel your old ones or purchase new ones online, at the dealer, autozone, etc.

Per moderator and forum rules, I'm not allowed to post links for third party sites. Use google, you'll find what you're looking for. Best of luck.

i already have the mounting bolts to attach the calipers but these are on the body of the caliper itself it looks like it holds the two halves of the caliper together.

Never mess around with breaks ... Thats ur life.
Install everything right.

Also, and I don't mean to jack ur thread but, I have the LS400 calipers also, but they came with the car.
Its almost time to buy new pads; so what model-year do I ask for, when I say I need LS400 pads? Anyone?

I would think any pads that are years 95 to 00 would work

I'd say go to Lexus and just special order them. Might as well bring the calipers with you in case they give you the confused look in the parts department.
